Train your dog to do a figure 8 around a pole, chair, person, another dog or any other prop.

I did this video for Canine Freestyle.

I personally do not worry about my dogs doing blind crosses.

I make sure to get behaviors under stimulus control by having a verbal and visual cue for the trick.

I am also not worried that my dogs will see a pole and think they are doing agility.

Especially since there is only one pole.

I have heard many that do agility say that the dog should never cross behind you, but I have not found it to be a problem.

Dogs are very intelligent and can distinguish between a variety of situations.

I am sure that my dogs know the difference when it comes to agility, freestyle, and frisbee routines.

Have a great day!

Take care,
Pam, Bandit & Twix
